About Aurora

Aurora Game
Development Club was founded in October 2011 at Georgia Southern University by
Ron Williams II with the help of Reshaun Owens. The idea was to unite all the
students of GSU whom were interested in game development in order to allow them
to meet each other and work collaboratively on extracurricular game projects.

Aurora
became an official on-campus organization in January 2012 and has since
serviced over 50 students by accomplishing its stated purpose:

Aurora Game Development Club
exists to aid in the professional development of its members by providing
opportunities to network, gain work experience, and learn about the game
development process and industry.

We
continuously achieve this by conducting general body meetings, assisting
students through a complete game development cycle, hosting guest speakers,
facilitating trips to conferences, and much more.

Today,
Aurora has evolved into a company that aims to accomplish the same goals on a
wider scale. Aurora provides students with the tools, information, and
opportunity to acquire cross-discipline communication skills, build a top tier
portfolio, and understand how to have a successful career in the game industry.

By
accomplishing our purpose, Aurora hopes to create a distinguished pool of
students that are better prepared for employment in the game industry. We will
bridge the gap between employers and graduates by making it easier for studios
to identify talented students, and in turn create a better work environment for
the entire game industry.
